Love Is a Fragile Thing

My mama and daddy

Were celebrating their anniversary

In all their years together

I'd never seen them disagree

I said mama what's your secret

Daddy tell me the truth

They laid a little wisdom on me

That I've carried ever since my youth

If you hold on to love too tight

It'll crumble and crack

If you hold on to love too loosely

It'll fly away and won't come back

Love has a mind of it's own

It'll dance like a kite on a string

For something that can be so strong

Love is a fragile thing

Love sure is a fragile thing

They said your mama and your daddy ain't perfect son

We made our share of mistakes

But we never go to bed when either one's mad

No matter how long it takes

We sit up and talk things over

Till we work everything out

We kiss goodnight and in the morning

We've forgotten what we argued about

If you hold on to love too tight

It'll crumble and crack

If you hold on to love too loosely

It'll fly away and won't come back

True love is a treasure

Treat it like it is

And then one day

You can say to your own kids...
